Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for what follows: Peace be upon you, O Shaykh. The question, O Shaykh: Regarding women who display their adornment and do not wear the hijab, is it true that their prayer and fasting are not accepted?
The Shaykh : No, that is not correct. Women who display their adornment are sinners, and the sinner’s fasting, prayer, and charity are accepted even if he sins. Perhaps his prayer, charity, and fasting will be the cause of the forgiveness of his sins, because the scales on the Day of Resurrection are balanced with justice. So the good deeds may outweigh the bad deeds, and in that case, the bad deeds will not harm him, for whoever’s scales are heavy is in a pleasant life. It is also possible that the good deeds and bad deeds are equal, in which case the person is among the people of the 'Arafah, who are in a station between Paradise and the Fire, and in the end, they will be among the people of Paradise. It is also possible that the bad deeds outweigh the good deeds, in which case he deserves punishment in the Fire, and then Allah may forgive him or He may not forgive him. The only thing that invalidates a deed and makes a deed of no benefit with it is disbelief, may Allah protect us from it. This is what makes a deed of no benefit, even if a disbeliever gives charity, builds mosques and schools, prints books, and spends on the poor and scholars, it is not accepted from him. Do you understand? So the woman who displays her adornment is a sinner among the sinners, and it is obligatory for her to repent to Allah and stop displaying her adornment. As for her prayer, fasting, and charity, they are accepted if the conditions are met. Yes.
